What should a new client know about working with you?
I am a caring and insightful therapist who has always had a passion for discovering the beauty in all that I encounter. As a therapist, my goal is to help you discover the beauty that lies within, your true potential. I work to equip clients with the necessary tools to tackle the world one issue at a time. I work with adults and couples, providing a safe, affirming, non-judgmental space for healing and support. As a humanistic and mindful therapist, I help clients gain a better understanding of their emotions and experiences by establishing a collaborative therapeutic relationship.
My therapy/counseling service is rendered to you through:
- Comfortable and relaxed discussion
- Focus on building a collaborative relationship
- Therapeutic approach guided by your concerns, indicators, and preferences
- During the first session, I will gather information about you and how I can help you become your best. It might take a few sessions for me to fully understand your situation and determine the solution-building approach or the best course of action to employ in helping you.
I have extensive experience working with clients from various cultural, spiritual, and religious backgrounds. I like to utilize a combination of the following approaches to help aid in addressing the issues identified in treatment: Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.
I provide authentic therapeutic support to all individuals and varied experiences. I seek to help end the stigmas and stereotypes of mental health care in Black/Brown communities. If you're not at peace in life, it can cause you to feel anxious, worried, uncertain, depressed, or even insecure. Through treatment centered around your experiences, we can collaborate on skills to help you live your best life.
